So lately there's been big schools of poonies, hundreds of them out on my flat. I've been freelining finger mullet, typically sightcasting their school, and I'll toss it around 10 feet in front of them but they aren't wanting to grab, only sometimes. Any suggestions? I know Tarpon are aggressive and very ealry morning feeders so what don't they like?
Thanks!

I have found that one of those small, white or chartreuse crappie jigs (the feather kind, not the curly tail) reeled slowly just under the surface will usually entice a bite from smaller tarpon. Just have to lighten up on the tackle a bit to cast it for any considerable distance and keep from bending the small hooks, but that's part of the fun.
Or use a proper hook and a pegged bullet weight!
